May I have a pet?Fish are the only pets permitted in the residence halls. For health reasons, other animals such as mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, arachnids, crustaceans, and amphibians are prohibited. If other pets are found in an apartment, a fine will be assessed to the owner of the pet for cleaning cost. Immediate removal of the pet will be required and possible disciplinary action may occur.

Although custodial workers are employed in North Lake and South Village to keep all public areas and public community bathrooms clean, you are expected to clean your own room, bathroom, and common areas in the apartment.
Do I have to get a meal plan?
At North Lake Village and South Village, you are not required to purchase a student meal plan, but may do so if you wish. For information on meal plans http://www.fgcudining.com/mealplans.php
May I store my belongings in my room during the summer months?
No. Because the residence halls are used for summer school, camps, conferences, and under renovations during the summer months, students are not allowed to store any belongings or property on campus during the summer.
Do I need to purchase insurance?
The University is not liable for damage to or loss of personal property as a result of fire, theft or any other cause whatsoever, or failure or interruption of utilities. The University is insured under the State of Florida's self-insurance trust fund that only provides liability for damages or injuries caused by negligence on the part of the University or its employees while working within the scope of their employment. The trust fund will not reimburse for losses created by unforeseen accidents/injuries that may occur. Students are encouraged to secure their own health and personal property loss insurance.
